His absence opens opportunities in central midfield for players like Sebastian Berhalter and Cristian Roldan, as the U.S. heads into two pre-tournament friendlies against Senegal and Germany and final roster decisions are possible up to 24 hours before the first match.

Atleti's tactical pivot curbs Arsenal as leg two looms

Arsenal controlled the Madrid first half and led 1-0 through a Viktor Gyökeres penalty, but Simeone switched Atlético to a back three/five after the break, enabling their attackers to threaten Arsenal and crowding the Gunners’ press. Odegaard’s early substitution and Eze’s later introduction left Arsenal short on build-up, while Atlético’s sustained pressure produced the bulk of the chances (second-half xG of 2.21, including a 0.79 xG penalty for Ben White’s handball converted by Julian Álvarez). By full time Arsenal looked fatigued in the battle, but the tie is still very much alive at the Emirates, where home form and squad depth give them a real chance to advance, especially if Odegaard recovers and Havertz is fit for the return. Grass issues at the Metropolitano and other small factors also played a part in a taxing night for both teams.
